best way to fire your landscaper?

really long story but, in short, it seems we're being ridiculously overcharged and we think it needs to be done.

has anyone done this? what's the best way? what do you say?

thanks!

Just call up[ and say you no longer need their services. If they ask why, tell them the truth.

Put it in writing. Send it wherever you send the bill. Include a specified end date.

Re: best way to fire your landscaper?

thanks everyone

i thought about saying we were going to do it ourselves but then i realized he does a few of the neighbors houses and he'd figure it out real fast. not that i should care but i'd just feel bad. even though he's ripping us off. Chat Icon Chat Icon

I just be honest and tell them you have gotten a better price from annother company. Maybe they will lower their price to keep you as a customer.

I would tell him you got a better price, see if he matches. If you need a new guy or someone to get a quote and if I remember correctly my sister lives in the same town as you.... I can get the info for her guy, I will be at her house later!

That's what I would do, that is, if I liked the job they have been doing.
